Good company for experience in a rapidly evolving business - But be prepared
Pros
I worked here as a Senior Account Executive for over 3 years. Lots of pros, some great people, benefits are great, salaries are ok for a company of this size. Free breakfast. Great employee experience team. Fitness classes - although the times are not ideal if you work in sales. Recently promoted some inspiring people into management roles who I’m sure will drive a lot of positive change. Great earning potential on bonuses if you over deliver on your targets. Free snacks - Great selection Free toiletries Great happy hours on a Friday. You will make lots of friends here - The people are great fun Mixed bag of experience working there so you get to work alongside a very diverse team. Clear progression path - Indeed do reward hard work and employees that keep a positive attitude. I developed a huge amount as a person through the challenges of working here and this has been a massive pro in my life.
Cons
Lots of change, which is natural in a hyper growth business. In my time, they really fell down in transparency and communication. Management has been quite clicky over the last few years and at times no one has any idea what’s going on. Targets can change suddenly with no notice and there can be a ‘shut up and put up’ culture in the sales org. Give people space and time to adjust to prevent them losing motivation and feeling disheartened. I’m confident that new people in management will drive change in this regard, as they operate differently and want to drive a learning and empowerment culture. Huge amount of micro management and a lot of very big egos. High pressure environment, it’s never enough (dependent on your manager but 60% of them do work like this) Though they have accountably as one of their core values, managers accept little to no accountability for their failings in understanding their people or lack of transparency. This is one of the main reasons I chose to leave. I do believe this is one of the best sales team in Dublin but there seems to be a real lack of trust from management in the people they are hiring at times.
